Does Deutsche Bank Business serve business customers in India?

Yes. Deutsche Bank operates in India as a licensed scheduled commercial bank. It opened its first branch in 1980 and runs branches in sixteen cities, including Mumbai, New Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune and Gurgaon, with an IFSC Banking Unit at GIFT City in Gujarat. Its India business spans corporate and commercial banking and a business banking unit that opens current accounts for Indian companies. A business registered in India can therefore open a Deutsche Bank current account, subject to documentation and checks. As of 19 October 2025.

Eligibility for businesses in India

Deutsche Bank India expects a business registered in India, such as a proprietorship, partnership, LLP or private limited company, with valid KYC including PAN, proof of business and identity of the authorised signatories, and GST registration where applicable. The account variant depends on the Average Quarterly Balance the business can maintain. Foreign owned Indian companies may apply, but onboarding follows Reserve Bank of India KYC and FEMA rules. Verify with the provider

What it costs locally

Deutsche Bank India publishes a schedule of charges. Its business current accounts are structured around an Average Quarterly Balance rather than a single flat monthly fee, with variants such as Current Account Silver Plus for lower balance needs, a zero balance Current Account Trade for cross border transactors, and Current Account Platinum for higher service needs. Charges for transactions, cash handling and trade services apply separately. Treat any figure as a guide and confirm the current schedule of charges with the provider. As of 19 October 2025

What local users report

Deutsche Bank in India positions its business banking toward established companies and cross border transactors rather than micro businesses, with relationship led service, branch access in major cities and online banking for corporates and firms. As a full bank, eligible deposits are covered by the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation up to the applicable limit, which differs from the safeguarding arrangements used by electronic money providers. Service levels and minimum balance requirements vary by account variant, so confirm what fits your business before applying.
